Migratory Memory

In Rotterdam, the FENIX Museum of Migration is breathing new life into a former port warehouse with a futuristic architectural feature: a polished steel “Tornado” tower, traversed by a vertiginous spiral staircase. For its first museum project in Europe, Chinese studio MAD blends industrial memory and sculptural flight in a dialogue between human history and visual utopia. A luxury of contrasts, where migration becomes architecture and steel becomes narrative.
